"It is essential that you have the ability to give full names and contact details of references for the last 5 years of your employment as security checks will be required. "
What I was saying in the other forum about fake ads with large rates. Greed numbs the senses I suppose.
I never give proper references before an interview. If they insist then I can't help if the guy's name I provide has left some time ago, and I must have remembered his extension number wrong.
